About Book

Ahoy, maties!

As a classroom hamster I've had many adventures. My biggest was when my boat almost sank to the bottom of Potter's Pond. And that was before I met up with some SCARY-SCARY-SCARY pirates!

My paw was still shaking when I first scribbled the tale in my notebook, and I left out a few details. But now I've written out the whole story, including my mysterious midnight trips to the library and the unsqueakably wonderful surprise at the end.

Your adventurous pal,

Humphrey
